Here's a simple example of a test module using its runtime type to search for methods by some name (specified on the the command line), grabbing the one by that name that requires no parameters, and dynamically invoking it:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ecstasy">
module test {
@Inject Console console;
void run(String[] args) {
String name = args.empty ? "foo" : args[0];
if (val mm := &this.actualType.multimethods.get(name),
val m := mm.methods.any(m -> m.ParamTypes.size == 0)) {
m.invoke(this, Tuple:());
} else {
console.print($"No such 0-parameter method: {name.quoted()}");
}
}
void foo() {
console.print("this is the foo() method");
}
void bar() {
console.print("this is the bar() method");
}
}

The <code>perform:with:with:</code> family of methods exist for methods with 0 - 2 (3 in [[GNU Smalltalk]]) arguments. For methods with more arguments, use <code>perform:withArguments:</code>, which takes an array of arguments.
=={{header|Swift}}==
Generally speaking, pure Swift is a very statically typed language, and calling unknown methods is impossible. However, Swift provides a few ways in which instances of specially marked objects can receive unknown method calls.
===Objective-C Compatibility Using @objc===
The first case is used for interfacing with legacy Objective-C libraries. Objective-C is heavily dynamic with Smalltalk-style message passing. So Swift must be able to participate in this.
<syntaxhighlight lang="swift">import Foundation
class MyUglyClass: NSObject {
@objc
func myUglyFunction() {
print("called myUglyFunction")
}
}
let someObject: NSObject = MyUglyClass()
someObject.perform(NSSelectorFromString("myUglyFunction"))</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>called myUglyFunction</pre>
===Dynamic Language Interop with @dynamicCallable and @dynamicMemberLookup===
One of Swift's goals is to able to effectively bridge to dynamic languages such as Python and JavaScript. In order to facilitate more natural APIs, Swift provides the <code>@dynamicCallable</code> and <code>@dynamicMemberLookup</code> attributes which allow for runtime handling of method calls.
<syntaxhighlight lang="swift">@dynamicCallable
protocol FunDynamics {
var parent: MyDynamicThing { get }
func dynamicallyCall(withArguments args: [Int]) -> MyDynamicThing
func dynamicallyCall(withKeywordArguments args: [String: Int]) -> MyDynamicThing

if let add = args["adding"] {

}
